root....first you need to put all the .rpm files that you
downloaded from sourceforge into a directory (one with no
other files in it). Then you type (at a command line as
root):
rpm -Uvh *
this will check all the dependencies of all the .rpm file in
that directory and if there are no dependency problems or
other conflicts all of the .rpm file in the directoey will be
installed. When the installation of the .rpm files is
complete then type at the command line:
rpm --rebuilddb
and when that command finishes type:
update-menus -v
when that command seems to have stopped press enter to get
back the command prompt. Then log off of the system and
reboot. That's it.
